The iPhone cannot find albums where the PC version can. It keeps searching and searching forever

Solved!

The iPhone cannot find albums where the PC version can. It keeps searching and searching forever

Description

Spotify on my iPhone often cannot find albums where the pc version have no problems at all

 

A more detailed description, using numbered steps

  1. I search for an artist on my iPhone

2.I find the artist and scroll down to the Albums-section

  1. I select an album by touching it
  2. The iPhone goes to something that looks like search mode where three round dots are shown revolving on my screen. After that nothing more happens.
  3. If I try to do the same in Spotify on my pc, the album immediately shows up. If I then start playing a tune on the pc, I can immediately play it by switching to the iPhone via the "Play here" button that shows up on the phone.

I should also mention that once I am playing one of the tunes on my phone I can switch to next and previous track on the selected record, but if I try to open the listing of songs I still get the eternal search...
